Abstract:
|
Recent advances in cyber infrastructure have made traditional ways of protecting social science data obsolete. Data producers increasingly are looking for new ways to increase access. One major driver of this movement is the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act (CIPSEA), which extends confidentiality protection to data collected exclusively for statistical purposes by any government agency and provides safeguards under which information can be analyzed. The NORC Data Enclave was created to meet this need. The enclave provides authorized researchers the opportunity to combine knowledge about data (through metadata documentation), augment the data infrastructure (through adding data), deepen knowledge (through wikis, blogs, and discussion groups), build a community of practice (through information sharing), and facilitate replication of scientific analyses.
